What the data says about his films
Rotten Tomatoes credits Anderson as writer or screenwriter on most of the films he has directed, from Hard Eight and Boogie Nights through Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza and One Battle After Another, and as a producer on many of them. Set aside a full evening for the longest ones: JustWatch lists Magnolia (188 minutes), One Battle After Another (162 minutes) and There Will Be Blood (158 minutes). The JustWatch cast data shows one name recurring more than any other: Philip Seymour Hoffman is billed in the top three on Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love and The Master.
One more title is on the way. Rotten Tomatoes lists Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall, a concert film he directed, for a limited release on November 20, 2026; it is not in the table because it has not been released yet.
Good first picks are Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread and One Battle After Another. Our guides to why Magnolia still divides audiences, the ending of There Will Be Blood and One Battle After Another’s plot, without spoilers pair well with those.
